Dr Teeth Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Hi, i am a keyboardist and an amateur drummer. I am trying to teach to some friends the little that i know about drumming. They bought a practice pad from vic firth, and it came with a book with excersises to do. My question is, it has de classic R/L notation to indicate wich hand is the strike with, but there are some excersises where that notation appears for 4 bars and then it does not appear for 6 bars, then it is there for 8 bars more, and then there is none for another 6 bars and so on. Is it supossed that all the comming strikes should be done with the last hand that is written on the paper? or how is it? thanks.

djarrett Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Yo, Teeth: Yes, The hand pattern (R-Right, L-Left) is established. Typically music is written in Right Hand Lead patterns. Occassionally a Left Hand Lead is necessary for patterns based on a particular rudiment or if on drumset, based on a patterns direction and flow of drums. If you go for a while and see new notation, it is because that particular pattern is what is recommended based on technical ease or sense.
